As I read this chapter I see the footage of the Passion of the Christ in my head.

Remove this cup from me father if it be your will not mine. This tells me Jesus didn't want to go through with it. Asking for another way.

This book has more detail than previous book of Mathew and Mark.

Hi Jackie Since God is Spirit scripturally his attributes are made made known by figures of speech, this figure is in human characteristics [known as condescension] where God is communicating at mans level. When he used sat in the contexted it was completed, the same was used when Jesus Christ sat at Gods right hand, also on the day of pentecost the spirit sat on each of the apostles it was a completed work. This is just one example of figures of speech, others are the face of God or the Hand of God or as Jesus Christ said by the finger of God. There are over 400 different figures of speech used in the scripture. Tremendous area for research and understanding.

Chris The problem with what your asking is will it be believed and that being said I'm going on to something else God Bless, I choose to believe then see some choose to see then believe.

You're quite correct Jackie, God is not man that He should grow physically weary & in need of rest. The word that is used for 'rest in Exodus 20:11 has a number of uses. It certainly implies rest because of tiredness, but also speaks of 'coming into quietness & a cessation of work'.

We can see this use also in Joshua 21:44, "And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand". The children of Israel finally settled in the Promised Land & their enemies were subdued before them. As men & women, they may have been physically tired from all they experienced after leaving Egypt, but the "rest" they received from the Lord was the final peace & quietness they yearned for. So God ceased from all His creative Work, as His people ceased from their wanderings & warrings (in these two Scriptures).

I've come to understand Zechariah is not a condemnation of fasting, but rather a wake-up call to examine our heart, that it is pure and guiding us to treat one another with true judgement, without malice. We (Christians) are called to be merciful to all others, particularly the vulnerable. To the degree that we do not, our fasting is in vain.

please keep myself and my daughters and there families in your prayers please keep my lost co workers in your prayers , may the Lord bless each and every one on these pages , may the Lord bless those who prays for others

It's writen ... And the sin is that THE LIGHT came into the world, but they prefered darkness ... I'm THE LIGHT, THE WAY and THE TRUTH... If you don't believe that " I am", your sin remains ... verily verily, I say unto you, before Abraham existed, I AM! Jesus said; no one knows The Father, but The Son, and no one knows The son, but only that one unto whom The Father wants to reveal Him and Whosoever sees Me, sees The Father. Why (then) do you ask me, show us The father?. The good thief at the cross, asked Jesus;" Lord, remember of me, when You wil return in Your Kingdom". He just asked by faith on THE FAITH of JESUS THE LORD!

To The name of Jesus be The Glory, The Honor and The Power, for ever! men! Because He is THE GOD Almighty, with The Father and The Holy Ghost. THE only one that is GOOD!

Hi Jackie , God doesn't need to rest , He chose to .

6th day creation,.. last few verses of genesis chapter one ,. Adam &Eve were created on the 8th day ,. That was the farming blood line ,. Of which Jesus would come threw,..

Exitus 20:11 why does God need to rest, when he has all the power

I'm sorry that I can't take this matter further as I have no better answer to give than what I just shared. I don't see any biological connection to any of mankind - the only connection is the ancestral one only because of Mary bearing this Holy Spirit prepared embryo. Christ had to come this way, rather than mysteriously popping up somewhere, so as to fulfil the prophecies that went before Him & to become a Man for ultimately the suffering of death. It is my belief that this embryo was wholly from God & Mary provided the sustenance for it & to be the means for its presentation.

I can't see anything in the Scriptures showing that David's son, Nathan or his name, will have anything to do with the Lord's Coming. Acts 1:10,11, "And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven." The Jesus Who was crucified & ascended into Heaven, will return again in like manner still with the nail prints in His Hand. I'm sorry to disappoint - no Nathan or his namesake - only Jesus.

Thanks brother Rick for reiterating that point. This matter has come up several times before, to which I've addressed, no one yet has put up his hand to give some examples of someone's special calling or proofs to be God's prophet, nor samples of their public addresses to which I might relate or have a better understanding. To that end, I will have to hold onto my understanding until I'm led further into the other side of the matter, or if someone can share something of present-day prophecy.

GOD is amazing & never stops teaching us!! I glanced over this discussion/comment yesterday because at 1st glance it appeared your question was answered. Today I was replying to another question me & David we commenting on. While I researched deeper, it lead me back to one of the scriptures you're referring to 1 Samuel 19:24,

I felt lead to discuss this deeper with you. In context David was fleeing for his life from Saul : 1 Samuel 19:1,9,10,11,15, ( like 5 attempts? ),

1 Samuel 19:18, Saul then "sent messengers to take David" 1 Samuel 19:20,21, they prophesied

then Saul went himself, 1 Samuel 19:22 , 1 Samuel 19:24 it appears to me GOD supernaturally stopped Saul.

Interestingly Saul prophesied the 1st time after Samuel had anointed him king possibly 5 miles away from Ramah. 1 Samuel 10,

Romans 11:29 in NIV "irrevocable" replaces ' repentance '

Hopefully this informative in your study.

Good evening, Chris.

Thanks again. One thing my husband and I always remember is that God did bring us together, so in the rough times, how can we throw away what God has put together? We are keenly aware that we hold the other's future hopes and dreams in our hands by our choice to stay true to our commitment made on our wedding day. To break that and leave the marriage is to chose to shatter and steal away this future from the other person. We chose the way of "loving the other as myself" approach even when life is challenging. And besides, there really isn't anyone else so suited for each other than we are.

I became a great, great aunt 7 years ago. That makes me feel old, and I am not yet a grandmother! HaHa.

I thank you for reading my thoughts as I think "outloud" as I write about these chapters. It is good to have feedback and know that another is walking along with me in this endeavor. Most of the postings on the chapters are past being able to reply to, so I hope there will be others beginning their journey to interact with as well.

Tried to answer your question but it was cesored I guess. Yes we should be able to talk about really difficult controversial subjects! Many do & sometimes it's allowed._._._. 2020 & 2021 are the most controversial. Lol

welcome

1 Timothy 6:12, 1 Timothy 6:6-12,

1 John 1:9, 2 Chronicles 7:14, James 1:5, Matthew 6:5-34, hopefully these help answer your question.

Please brothers and sisters pray for my dad who is on a ventilator battling pneumonia. Please pray that the Lord would heal him.

Gift of god means Nathan could this be for shadowing that Nathan be name of Jesus in his second coming

Thx but still could it be Nathan as second coming and if Jesus was David's then that would make them step brothers to jesus

Indeed GiGi, that was a beautiful love story in Genesis chapter 24, coupled with a special account of your beautiful personal love story. We can always look back & find joy in how the Lord has led us over the years, not just for marriage, but in every area of our lives; that the our praise only goes back to Him.

As well, I can identify with the 'one generation removed'. I thought becoming a grand-uncle at age 40 yrs was good going, until I read of your brother being an uncle at age 6. I'm sure he's never let his nephews/nieces forget that one!

Hello Fred. In Matthew 22:41-46, we receive a great answer from Jesus on this:

"While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions."

Quoting from Psalm 110:1, Jesus points out to the Pharisees that even though He came in David's lineage (Matthew chapter 1 & Luke chapter 3 reveal this), His position before God & man, had its roots way back in eternity than what they supposed him to be. The Pharisees were left dumb-founded with Jesus' answer, because they knew the Scripture ( Psalm 110:1); how could David infer in this Psalm that his biological son would sit on the throne, when he (David) spoke of him as his Lord?

Even if David, Solomon, Nathan, etc. would have been mentioned in the Psalm, the fact remained that though Jesus had his ancestral roots through Mary (she bearing the Child) & Joseph, thus fulfilling prophecy, His coming to Earth was wholly from God & therefore had no biological connection to King David's sons. If there was a biological connection, then the sin nature in man would have been transmitted as well to Jesus, which refutes other Scriptures. Also, Psalm 110:4 states, "The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek", and this position no man on Earth could ever fulfil, as Jesus had no beginning or ending of days, resembling King Melchizedek, for whom there was no record known ( Hebrews 7:3).

Hi Martha Prayer is what we pulldown strongholds by.

Chris As I said before by personal experience I have seen all five Gift ministries in operation so I'll stick with It Is Written and your understanding is your privilege.

Only reason I would say that Nathan son of David is going be name of Jesus in his second coming because Nathan means gift from god so i take the gift as being when Nathan gets bathized he will become Jesus like just an idea

Is it possible since they say Jesus is the son of David that his son Nathan is really Jesus possibly because he didn't get to become king so how do we know that he wasn't Jesus in Jesus wasn't a made up name. Sorry to ask

Hi Gloria.

Accompany reading the Bible with listening to it.

The Lord will meet you right where you are at! God don't depend on man's intellect.

If we depend on our reasoning to fully understand the bible we all would be lost. God put his spirit in man and opened our eyes to what he has to say to us.

1 Corinthians 2:9-16. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

1 Corinthians 1:26-29. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

That no flesh should glory in his presence.

Also read. John 16:13-14.

John 14:26.

God bless.

Hi Basil. As T. Levis correctly translated 'faults' to apply to 'sins', I'm reminded of Jesus' Words in Matthew 5:22-26. Here the thought is to first be reconciled to your brother & then come to worship, since, how can God accept our worship & praises if there is sin & animosity against another breeding in our hearts. So, 'confession of our faults to one another' is not the penitent sinner revealing his sins to a priest behind a curtain (as some are instructed to believe), but one who knows he has done wrong, or been wronged, makes that error clear before another & admits to his failure, seeking forgiveness. God hears & receives the worship of such hearts made clean through admission & confession.

What a testimony Mari! Yes, Yahweh loves you and wants the best for you. He was always with you during your hardships. God bless!

Hi Dotha Ann Evans, One must take into consideration that the word itself said Jesus did many other things. If they were all written in books, I don't suppose there would be room enough in the whole world for all the books. So we see here there are a lot of things that were not in the bible that took place. What we have in the gospels are an account of the mission of Yahweh and Jesus. This means that many of the lives of the wicked are not told fully usually just their transgression and how they died. Yahweh focused on his sheep.
